LMFAO at fricking Fletcher Mackel, linking to a blog he wrote months ago about Benson like he saw this coming. Guy fricking writes random shite every day, then points it out if it ever actually happens like he saw it coming.

How long have you been around Tom Benson? Most of us aren't close with him like you, so maybe you could fill us in.

There's no opt out in it. The penalties for moving would be astronomical.

Benson or his people aren't going to do that now.

So I repeat. frick off.

This isn't the thread for it. This is a celebration thread.

danfraz has a forum in which he can expound on his insider knowledge. Hopefully we will hear what his reasons are for thinking as he does. Otherwise, he's just a contrarian shmuck on a message board.

Ive been around Tom Benson long enough to know this is not good for the Hornets


think what you want


I think that you are an idiot blinded by the axe you are grinding. First, the new lease keeps the team here for 12 more years. Secondly, Benson is buying the team to leverage it with his other area investments. If people go to Hornets games he makes money on the Hornets and all of his other investments make more money. He is buying it because it's in his best interest to see them succeed. I'm sorry Benson screwed you or someone you know in the past. He's an a-hole, but go troll somewhere else.

Twitter is reporting that the purchase price is about $338 million.

It looks like the NBA made a profit on the deal, as the reported purchase price from December 2010 was about $300 million, which included a lot of money owed to the league by Shinn being forgiven.

The question is, does a $20 million profit buy us the #1 pick?

Unsupported opinions at odds with overwhelming positive response to the ownership news are bound to be suspect. Your appearance in this thread to throw out your "insider knowledge" smacks of attention whoring.

I'll hang up and listen.

Not to mention trying to play the victim. Classic trolling.

We'll see.

I'm thinking that the lottery drawing will end up with the Benson Boogie on national TV.
